In February, the Access to Justice Commission held a recognition event in the Supreme Court courtroom. The purpose of the event was to encourage lawyers to do pro bono service and to thank the law firms, legal organizations, and individual attorneys who are providing pro bono legal services to pro se litigants at the Honolulu District Court’s Access to Justice Room (AJR).

Each of the eleven law firm and legal organization has staffed or will staff the Access to Justice Room for an entire month. The firms and organizations are: Ayabe Chong Nishimoto Sia & Nakamura (January); Cades Schutte (February); Carlsmith Ball (April); Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel (May); Ashford & Wriston (June); Bronster Hoshibata and the Hawaii Filipino Lawyers Association (July); Schlack Ito and the James S. Burns Aloha Chapter, American Inns of Court IV (August); Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing (September); City & County of Honolulu Office of the Public Defender (October); Damon Key Leong Kupchack Hastert (November); and Kobayashi Sugita & Goda (December). The month of March is staffed by attorneys who are volunteering as individuals. They were also recognized at this event.

In his remarks about “Partnerships in Justice,” guest speaker Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald said, “This is a time of innovation and promise for access to justice in Hawaii.” The Chief Justice noted that the Judiciary has self-help centers in every circuit, and, thus far, more than 1,000 people have been helped at no cost to the State.
